The science is pretty clear on co2 causing global warming.<p>The economics of the urgency and advisability of any particular intervention are less clear.<p>The moral assumptions underlying "climate justice" are pretty unclear to me and don't seem to be an appropriate area for a government agency to be legislating what they deem the truth to be.<p>Be careful you don't get too happy when the government compels a point of view you happen to agree with, because once you hand over decisions about truth to a political body, it's hard to claw it back.
"In board testimony, Bigelow said PPS’ science textbooks are littered with words like might, may and could when talking about climate change."<p>Skepticism in science? Unacceptable!
As someone not from the states I was genuinely surprised to see that non-science was potentially preached in schools for such well proven topics such as this. For genuinely debatable scientific theories sure I understand but this was a bit of a jarring realisation.
I note that the Portland school library system offers both <i>Mein Kampf</i> and <i>The Communist Manifesto</i>. Exposing fragile young minds to those is just fine, apparently.<p>(I searched at the Roosevelt Library, if anyone wants to check)
